3. "lawsuit reform"
That one really pisses me off. Do any of these people know what those incredibly greedy assholes want to accomplish? They want to limit general damages, cap punitives, and eliminate the preventative protective effect of lawsuits. Why should a manufacturer make his products "safe" if the threat of a lawsuit is capped? I hate them so much!

4. Some blame, as usual, can go to the complicit Dems...
and that goes to the permanent tax-cut issue as well.

The dems can't fight their way out of a paper bag.

5. Polls don't work, and I can prove it!
When people call me up w/poll questions, if I have the time, I take part.... but I ALWAYS LIE, because I think that political polling is a herd-steering mechanism, nothing more; and anything I can do to fuck up the results, well, that's the least I can do...
I bet I'm not the only one who does this, either...
Why should we let them take an accurate political temperature on us every freakin' 15 minutes?
They want data?... I'll give 'em data...

RECENT POLLS SHOW EVERYONE
IN AMERICA SEEING THE SAME
SCARY MONSTER FACE IN DREAMS

Coincidence? Or strange
supernatural synchronisity?
